nothing in bottom box

checked the bees today and the hive is two deep top hive plenty of bees honey pollen brood ect bottom box nothing i mean nothing no bees honey nothing i took that box out and condensed them down to one box did i do the right thing or what i hope so thanks

Re: nothing in bottom box

I'm up in Ct. and have 1 frame with only foundation in my top deep box. They never drew out the one I put in place of the feeder. Does anyone know if I should move that into the cluster area so they have more room? Top or bottom?

Re: nothing in bottom box

leave feeder in place unless you think they need the space for food, then place a frame of honey in the place of the feeder. But the space filled with foundation would be fine otherwise. The problem with leaving the feeder in during winter is the condensation will form inside and make for a smelly mess
